deep fried prime rib??!!!!! WT?...
my beef was just a little 3lb bottom round... marinated for 1.5 days in about a 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar and 2/3 cup Revolution Red wine {cali} then rubbed with a boubon pepper spice blend and roasted for about 3 hrs at 325F with the marinade and another 6oz glass of the wine... browned the roast on all sides first than added a big nob of butter and sweated a small onion and about 4 cloves of garlic first... at 1.5 hrs threw in a bunch of chopped carrots and at about 2hrs tossed in a bunch of sliced mushrooms...
after it was done I tented the roast on a heated plate for 15mins to rest while i did that I removed the carrots, most of the 'shrooms, and onions to a serving bowl and on the stove top added a tbsp of flour and 1/2 cup of 35% cream to the jus and heated to just boiling and hit it with the boatmotor [immersion blender] to process the remaining veg...
served all with yukon golds whipped with a nob of butter and more 35% cream...
have to say was one of the best meals I 've done yet... very happy with the gravy and the meat just melted in the mouth even at med. well [to satisfy other diners quirks]... though next time I would cut the vinegar by half there was still a bit of tang to it...
think I may have to send you a pm Mark...
fyi guys bottom round is one of the cheaper cuts of beef and the key to a good result is to cook it low and slow.

I'm posting this here, in case SOMEONE saw the post... Which was directed at me... I just can't find it, haha...
They asked for "Tailgate Latches" in the tailgate.... PRETTY sure it's ChildrenofBoddom .... but I'll find out tomorrow at a reasonable hour, lol.
I also had the FULL recipe for my most Common method of prime rib/Ribeye Roast ....... Of course it restarted while I was away for a few before I could finish it or post it or save it to my notepad, .... ETC! lol. GRRRRRR! I'll do it asap.
I'll post the deep fried method too, for those who have turkey friers or at least 8-10# meats capable friers. Could be smaller, sure nuff...
Anyway, I'm passing out... LONG day... L8r T8rs! Happy New years eve to you all!

Thank you, very much, Paul! ...... and the same to you! Hope it's a good balance of Snow and Clear, that you and yours stay healthy, that the Toyota Powers That Be send good/hard to find thingymadoers your way...... Ya know, the important things! hehe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
PS> Paul, ..... I'm going to post my more common recipe for Prime Rib Roast.... But I had it all typed out, lots of semantics about it for fun, and it was DELETED ON SOME AUTO RESTART! grrr! I know, I know,...but sometimes I have to walk away, in fact I OFTEN have to walk away from something I'm posting in my 'leisure realm'.
I'll put it up next though... I'll try.

Yep, it's tough..... Especially for those who live with them?> YES TO THAT, as well... And NOT just due to the fact that you have to watch it..... Not just because they're suffering at times, in many cases from it... But, ALSO, because THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS! MANY people come home after leaving someone forgetful at home to see the Fire Dept. in front of their smoldering home... The loved one in the driveway(GOD WILLING), just fine... but having put a TV dinner on the stove top..... POOF, life has changed for everyone in an instant. Yeah, the hardest day to day parts are; KEEPING THEM SAFE and POSITIVE! They get VERY depressed, at times. The ONLY cure for that is COMPANIONSHIP! I had MANY rough times with my Stepfather.... But HE LOVED my company... even if he HATED the fact that he was emasculated and had to be helped by me, the 'GUY WHO IS HEALTHY/the guy who also is very loved by his wife'(My mom)... They can become VERY resentful..... BUT THEY NEEEEEEEEEEED that companionship.... AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!
... (And, ... a Man needs the companionship of other men in his life, period, not just at that age or stage of disease.) I sure wish you and yours the best, Nick! Thanks for your prayers and intercession!
Now, ...I gotta go see if I missed a post on your 'light wiring'... Should be nice... I like DC stuff... I have a set of 8" lights that they don't make any longer(iirc)... BRIGHT AS DAYLIGHT! lol.
BBros? Hahaha.... It's ok there. Some things are great, some? Meh... BUT, this time, EVERYONE'S food was FANTASTIC! I had a "Monster" Burger or something... 10oz. Ground Fresh Chuck, etc., lol... SOOOOOOO JUICY, very free of "ooooh, what's that crunchy/rubbery thing in there???" hahhaaa.... Sis got Pasta Pom.! .... Dad had New York Steak Sliders.... Mom LOVED her Manhattan New York Steak Sandwich, ... Hmmmm.... Let's see... My bro ordered that "Pastrami Straw" thingy(SICK-GOOD! LOL).... and my Nephew got a "The Don" Calzone, lol..... Amazing how you can remember orders and stuff when 'food' is what you do, hahaha. People seem to like the beer, too... I'm not sure on that.... I was very picky about my beer. LOVED Boddingtons, Murphy's, Bastard, Stella's ok, lol..... BUT, I'd quit drinking before I ever went there... So I'd not be of help there... Just know they brew their own Beer, like 12 types? Nice Atmosphere..... Good view of the Lake and Night Lights from the Window Seats... It's a fun place, ... (OH, all the SMOKING HOT Waitresses isn't a TERRRRRRRRRRible thing, either.... hahaha...).. NOT being a perv, lol.... They're not dressed in Bikini's... just seem to hire very 'PRETTY' people, lol.
Also, DON'T OVERTIGHTEN the tester.. but make sure it's seated.... You can Toilet Paper around what should be sealed, not tight, and just see if it blows in the wind! lol... If so, you KNOW it's not sealed.... You'll get it, either way, rebuild deluxe or minor....

And btw, guys........ Whatcha think of my idea to do the sliders in Bedliner? Wouldn't that give me a good 'GRIP' on them, guys? Or should I just do gloss black and slap some grip tape on there?
